Abstract
Tooling to apply an SDL connector to a cable containing a plurality of conductors contains at least a contact-engaging die surface to apply contacts to said conductors. The die surface is on a crimping plate which is secured to the tooling against a main body member and is incrementally movable vertically by the user of the tooling through a range of adjustment positions to adjust the height of the die surface which results in an adjusted height of the contacts after application. The crimping plate is movable by a plate-moving means such as a wedge member having a slightly sloping bearing surface where the wedge member is moved horizontally atop the main body member by an adjustment screw, for instance. The tooling can be secured in a handtool, or a pneumatic bench machine, or a semiautomatic applicator apparatus as desired.
